That ceasefire, agreed in October, has not progressed beyond the first stage.
Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 400 Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers have been reported killed since then.

Hamas, which refuses to disarm, has reasserted control in that sliver of territory.
The two sides remain far apart on the steps needed for the second phase.
And they've accused each other of major breaches of the ceasefire deal.
